K201956 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Zeus IFA ANA HEp-2 Test System, Zeus dIFine. Classified as Antinuclear Antibody, Indirect Immunofluorescent, Antigen, Control (product code DHN), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Zeus Scientific, Inc. (Raritan, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 29, 2022 after a review of 654 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Immunology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.5100 - the FDA immunology device framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Immunology submissions.
